Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Joining Forces

"Ha, it’s Leng Tao, Tao has come out first!"

Seeing the figure emerging from the center of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, two middle-aged martial artists were overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around, "Tao, what have you gained?" One of them, impatient, asked.

Leng Tao gave a mysterious smile but wasn’t in a hurry to answer. The middle-aged martial artist was about to continue questioning but was stopped by a look from his companion, "Let’s go, let’s head home first. Whether there are gains or not, this trip must have been exhausting!"

From Leng Tao’s smile, it was clear he had indeed gained something. Thus, Leng Tao and his kin almost flew away from the Black Dragon Ancient Land at the fastest speed, embarking on the journey back home.

Why the hurry? The reason was simple.

The warriors who made it to the Black Dragon Ranking mostly came from ancient sects and noble martial arts families, and these sects and families had gathered a web of complex relations over many years.

Almost every sect and martial arts family had rival powers.

An increase in strength by a rival often meant a relative decrease in their own, so after each Black Dragon Ranking competition, many sects and families took the opportunity to eliminate the talented members of their rival forces.

Especially this time, the listed warriors on the Black Dragon Ranking had entered the Black Dragon Secret Palace, and if left to grow, they would be truly formidable.

Thus, almost every sect and family, upon seeing their disciples appear, left immediately as quickly as possible.

Of course, many other sects and families were still waiting, eagerly anticipating the appearance of their own disciples. The few Soul Sea Realm masters from the Phantom Divine Sect were no exception, not fearing an ambush but eager to know the condition of their disciples and their fates within the Black Dragon Secret Palace.

Suddenly, there was a flash of green light.

"Eh, it’s Zuo Bin, quick, Zuo Bin has come out!"

"Zuo Bin, what have you gained?"

The figure of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King flickered, and the moment Zuo Bin appeared, he snatched him up like an eagle snatching a chick, eagerly questioning him in front of everyone.

The curiosity of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King was indeed great.

He had participated in the Black Dragon Ancient Land before, but this legendary Black Dragon Secret Palace had countless tales within their sect, yet no one had ever truly entered.

Hearing the relentless questioning of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, a faint hint of joy surfaced on Zuo Bin’s cheeks. There were gains, and not few. This trip to the Black Dragon Secret Palace had boosted his combat power by at least fifty percent.

If Bu Changtian were still alive, Zuo Bin was now very confident in defeating Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, who had always been a thorn above his head.

But the thought of Bu Changtian immediately changed Zuo Bin’s expression.

This matter must be reported to the elders as soon as possible.

"Elders, let’s switch to a quieter place first!" Zuo Bin’s face was solemn.

Elder Qingyi, Thousand Illusion Eagle King, and Hongfeng from the Phantom Divine Sect all smiled at the same time, as it seemed there were significant gains.

However, as the four of them moved to a corner to wait for Zuo Bin to disclose his gains, all three of their expressions turned incredibly stiff.

"Changtian?"

"What happened, how could Changtian end up like this?"

"Who did it? Who was it?"

Elder Qingyi’s face turned pale instantly, the loss was too great.

Hand Extreme Bu Changtian was meant to be the pillar of the next generation in the Phantom Divine Sect, and now he had turned into a corpse!

Faced with the elders’ questioning, Zuo Bin naturally held nothing back, revealing everything he had seen, even his speculations, without any omission.

Of course, except for that High Grade Treasure Ring!

Zuo Bin had already decided, no matter who asked, that the High Grade Treasure Ring was his trophy from within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, and it had nothing to do with Bu Changtian.

"The one who likely killed Senior Brother Bu is none other than Ye Zhen!"

"Look, this sword wound is the most deadly. There are several people capable of killing Senior Brother Bu including Caiyi, Hu Wushuang, and even Yem Yuan. But only Ye Zhen and Mo Xinsui use swords, and yet Mo Xinsui uses Thunder Spirit Power. There are many other sword-wielding martial artists, but none have the strength to match!" Zuo Bin analyzed enthusiastically.

"Ye Zhen, that bastard!" The corners of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King’s mouth brimmed with killing intent!

"Elder Qingyi, shall we proceed as planned?" the Thousand Illusion Eagle King asked.

Eventually, Elder Qingyi nodded.

As time passed, more warriors were transported out from the Black Dragon Secret Palace, with only a very few remaining inside.

"Caiyi?"

Seeing Caiyi’s figure, Jis Che and Zhongli Jing were overjoyed, simultaneously welcoming her along with Wu Mingda and Mei Yuanju who had already come out.

"Caiyi, have you seen Ye Zhen? Did you meet him?"

"Hmm...."

"Eh, isn’t this him coming out now?"

When Ye Zhen came out of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, he was still in a state of unconsciousness and lying flat, but the immense friction of spiritual power during his transport woke him up.

"Are you alright?"

When Ye Zhen opened his eyes, he saw the concerned faces of Jis Che, Zhongli Jing, Caiyi, and others.

"No....harm!"

Ye Zhen felt a bit bewildered. In his memory, a black beam of light had shot out from the Black Dragon’s left eye, and he had no recollection beyond that, but waking up outside of the Black Dragon Ancient Land now was a huge disparity that Ye Zhen had trouble adjusting to.

Instinctively, Ye Zhen concentrated his Divine Sense, and looked inward.

Ye Zhen now really wanted to know, what kind of change had the black light from the Black Dragon’s left eye caused in his body?

Good or bad?

But upon a closer look, Ye Zhen was stunned.

Nothing!

Absolutely nothing!

Not to mention a black pillar of light; there wasn’t even a trace of blackness inside him.

His physical body looked exactly the same as before he lost consciousness.

Surprisingly, as Ye Zhen fully regained control of his body, it gave him a feeling, or rather told him a piece of information—there was something foreign inside his body!

That feeling was as if there was suddenly something inside his body that didn’t belong to him.

Following that feeling, Ye Zhen activated his Divine Sense.

Goodness, Ye Zhen was dumbfounded.

"How could it be like this here? That black pillar of light has actually occupied this place?"

As Ye Zhen stood there dumbfounded, the Second Elder Jis Che and Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing of the Qiyun Sect could no longer wait.

"Ye Zhen, whatever discoveries or gains you have, we can slowly absorb and refine them after we return. Now, we don’t have any time to waste. We must return to the Sect in the shortest possible time," Second Elder Jis Che said.

"What happened?" Ye Zhen asked instinctively.

"Your limelight this time is too great. The first and second places on the Black Dragon Ranking were all taken by our Qiyun Sect. Moreover, the top three from past Black Dragon Rankings, once they grow, all have the potential to influence the power dynamics of the Black Dragon Domain.

Your and Caiyi’s sudden emergence must have made the Sect Leader of Sword Origin Sect lose sleep."

"Let’s talk on the way; let’s set off first!"

With a wave of his hand, the Qiyun Sect’s Sect Guardian Beast, the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon, landed in front of everyone. In the next instant, with a long screech, it transformed into a beam of dark light and disappeared into the void.

"Zuo Bin, stay here to support the junior brothers. Elder Qing Yi, Junior Brother Hong Feng, let’s move!"

As they spoke, a Vermilion Immortal Crane suddenly kneeled in front of Elder Qing Yi and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King. The next moment, it soared into the sky. As it ascended, the Thousand Illusion Eagle King fixed a substantial gaze at a distant Sword Origin Sect Elder, Zhii Sheng.

In an instant, Elder Zhii Sheng understood, waved his hand, and a massive Gold-Winged Sky-Turning Eagle swooped towards the sky. Zhii Sheng, Kong Shan, and the remaining two disciples of Sword Origin Sect stepped onto the Gold-Winged Sky-Turning Eagle.

Screech!

With a sharp cry, the Gold-Winged Sky-Turning Eagle chased in the direction where the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon had vanished.

This scene was observed by several sects and noble families still in the Black Dragon Ancient Land. The seasoned martial artists immediately sensed something amiss; they sweated profusely and urged their own disciples to leave as quickly and as far as possible.

This incident in the Black Dragon Ancient Land, due to the unexpected appearance of the Black Dragon Secret Palace, was likely to cause a bloodbath in the Jianghu.

As other sects fled or pursued, the members of the Tiannan Hua Family led by Butler Hua were frantic.

"Butler Hua, why hasn’t the young master come out yet? Could something have happened to him..."

Under Butler Hua’s stern gaze, the last few words of the Soul Sea Realm powerhouse weren’t dared spoken aloud.

"Humph, how is that possible?"

"No need to worry!"

"Perhaps the young master has an incredible fortune in the Black Dragon Secret Palace! According to our family records, our ancestor, the Flower King, had entered the Black Dragon Secret Palace five hundred years ago.

During that visit, the ancestor stayed in there for seven and a half days! Perhaps the young master is encountering something similar?" Butler Hua said with composure.

Honestly, although Butler Hua was a bit anxious, the secrets known to the Hua Family temporarily gave Butler Hua some calm.

Whoosh!

The flying speed of the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon was almost pushed to its limit by Second Elder Jis Che. One after another, demon cores were tossed into the mouth of the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon like stones.

"Ye Zhen, let your Cloud Winged Tiger King gather Cloud Qi to assist the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon!" Jis Che said.

"The kitten, it has been unconscious and hasn’t woken up!"

Since coming out of the Black Dragon Secret Palace, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had been unconscious, yet its breath was fairly stable.

"How could it be unconscious?"

Screech!

Suddenly, the cry of a crane came from behind, and a vermilion shadow flashed past, changing the expressions of Second Elder Jis Che and Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing simultaneously.

"Phantom Divine Sect’s Wind Spirit Red-crowned Crane?"

Before the words were finished, a massive form resembling a small hill, the Phantom Divine Sect’s Wind Spirit Red-crowned Crane, suddenly blocked in front of the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon.

The inherent intimidation of a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beast, the Wind Spirit Red-crowned Crane, drastically reduced the speed of the Black Cloud Wind-breaking Falcon, bringing it to a fearful halt.

"Elder Qing Yi, what are you doing?"

As they watched the Phantom Divine Sect’s members blocking their way, Jis Che suppressed his anger and demanded.

"What are we doing? You’ll find out very soon!" Elder Qing Yi said.

The Thousand Illusion Eagle King stepped forward, the body of Changtian suddenly appearing in his hand, "What do you think we’re doing? Your Qiyun Sect disciples first killed my disciple and then his brother Changtian. Now, they’ve also killed our Phantom Divine Sect’s True Inheritor Changtian. You surely owe us an explanation, right?"

"Humph, Jis Che, do you think our Sword Origin Sect’s disciples can just be killed for nothing?"

Screech!

Almost simultaneously, the fierce cries of the Gold-Winged Sky-Turning Eagle and the furious shout of Elder Zhii Sheng from Sword Origin Sect emerged from behind! (To be continued.
